We will have a meeting Monday night for all those interested in commercial feeder cattle. If you're interested in feeding a calf or sponsoring a kid join us. If you can't make it and are interested, contact Mr. Brixey.
Be sure to come out and support the City View Culinary students next week. We will make our version of loaded potato soup, mini cupcakes, and homemade bread to sample and vote on best of the event. It is a great cause to support the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank and take with you a hand made bowl produced locally as well. Thank you for your support!
Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge and Medicine Park Aquarium and Natural Sciences Center!!!!
City View FFA Wildlife students were able to experience the Wichita Mountains, Buffalo, Longhorns, the Kite Hiking Trail, Mountain Boomers, snakes, turkeys and a list of many plants before we made it to the aquarium. 100 year old alligator snapping turtle, otters, quail, bobcats and coyotes. This was a great field trip for these youth as they got to experience something that Mr Hopkins has a passion for and wants to give students opportunities to learn.
What a great trip!!!

Look at what's going on at City View FFA. Commercial Feeder steers have started on feed. In this program, a student feeds steers for over 150 days, keeping records to track efficiency of the steers on feed. The steers will then be graded at the end of the feeding period based on quality and yield. The student is evaluated on their records and what they've learned. If this is something your student may be interested in, contact Mr. Brixey.
Students in culinary and advanced culinary arts have been learning about hospitality and different positions in the food industry. We were able to sample a few of those rolls this week to simulate.
This week in Equine Science students researched and developed a timeline for the Modern Horse.
